    Doesn’t DoD have detailed attack plans for every nation already?

      Yes.

      Well, not necessarily detailed. Like I’m sure the plan for an invasion of Uruguay is basically nonexistent, while one for war with China is comprehensive.

      Plans for a zombie apocalypse have also been created at least once as an exercise. It’s good practice for an emergency situation.

          We’ve got that in Australia!

          note: It’s ‘not rabies’ (it’s Bat Lyssavirus, which is ‘totally not rabies’*) and it’s ‘airborne’ since they’re bats :P

      Yes but this is a bad headline. The article is about specifically using US military to attack cartels, which the Trump administration has already made legal for themselves by recategorizing them as terrorists.

      It is still a violation of both international law and common sense.

        I imagine most militaries have contingency plans against enemies and allies ready to go. Wouldn’t be much of a defensive force without them. (I know that the US is not a defensive force. I live here. We will 100% take over your country for borderline no reason.)

      Yep. I would be more surprised if there wasn’t an attack plan for any country with more than 5m people.
